Make Peace Wherever You Are

One of my favorite ideas is PEACE, but I can’t remember ever writing about it until now. I know I think about it a lot, partly because it seems so elusive. All I have to do is look around my house: no peace here (or so I am thinking). I think peace is an attitude and must be a choice we make and a conscious practice for every day. Imagine when many of us begin a practice of peace every day; life will be different.

I have some favorite quotes:

From Mother Theresa: “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

I live alone most of the time and I love being alone; I seem to get a lot done, but I love being with people, too. I feel inspired and stimulated by ordinary exchanges, made more precious because of the contrast with my very quiet alone time. That sounds almost like a new idea, but maybe it is because I forgot how expansive my being really is.

From the Buddha: “Peace comes from within. Do not seek peace without.” 

How can we not know this? We do, but we sometimes forget. Doesn’t everything come from within? If not, where? We do know that we have everything within that we need to create a life filled with endless love and joy if we remember to listen and pay attention.

From Esther Hicks and her spiritual voice, Abraham: “Make peace wherever you are.” 

This is quite the challenge because we know it also means no matter what is going on. I am not sure about you, but I encounter difficult or uncomfortable situations almost every day. I do my best to make peace with each one by remembering the peace I can choose. Never forget we are truly powerful and eternal beings.
